The Wall Street Journal has launched a three-part video on its website entitled "The End of Wall Street," Media Bistro reports. This is the WSJ.com's first long-form video series.

The video explains "how the housing bubble inflated and burst, the rippling effects across the economy and look at what's ahead for the global economy."

The WSJ use of video reflects a growing trend in the news industry. After so many news providers were harshly criticized for their treatment of the financial crisis, the WSJ presents a creative way of explaining the series of events that led up to the financial crisis and their predictions for the future.
